Abandonment

always left to our devices
betterment crushed to dust
answered never during crisis
never found inside our trust
detrimental, godless wars
opening our deepest fears
nearing death, the way it bars
meager payment are our tears
ever found within our hope
nihilistic in its scope
trusting no one, even our reflection
